For many years, Srixon has discreetly produced some of the world's best golf balls. The business has been providing both professionals and amateurs with high-quality performance by providing soft feel, a dynamic dimple pattern for increased spin, and ultimate short game control.
The Srixon Q-Star Tour golf ball and Z-Star series, the two top products of the brand, both provide golfers a fair price point, low compression for high launch, a thin but sturdy urethane cover, and superb greenside control.
With its quick dimpled pattern, the Srixon Q-Star Tour reduces drag. The cover offers long penetrating flight with a relatively high launch for prolonged carry for golfers who have trouble with lift. The dimples maximise length with woods and offer remarkable precision on each shot together with the sophisticated core.
The thermoplastic urethane cover of the Q-Star Tour is extremely thin because of the company's unique Spin Skin coating. No matter what shot you play on the course, the cover adds high rotation and precision while increasing friction off the clubface for maximum rotation of the ball. The urethane used in the cover provides dependability and longevity, making this ball excellent all around and a great choice for golfers of all skill levels.
High-level players are not the target market for the Srixon Q-Star. For such, Srixon has its Z-Star golf balls. No, it's a two-piece ball that can be used by players of various ability levels. But in reality, it's made for players with mid- to high-handicaps who want a nice ball without spending an arm and a leg.
The fourth generation of what first began out as a really intriguing ball is the new 2022 Srixon Q-STAR Tour. The Q-STAR Tour was a little bit of a unicorn when it first debuted in early 2017. Although it was undoubtedly soft, the ball had a moving price of less than $30 and was covered in urethane.
It lacked the former Tour-level ball's speed. But it moved along quite quickly for the target golfer. Although it didn't quite have the spin of a Tour-level ball, it had enough spin for the intended golfer.
Customers like the category in and of itself—a soft-ish ball with a urethane cover for under $40.
Conclusion
What role does the Srixon Q-STAR Tour play in this? Where do the other athletes in the close to Tour-ball category fit, too? According to sales figures, even if nobody really likes to spend $45 to $50 per dozen on an OEM's premium ball, those who seek high levels of firmness and spin will do so.
The DTC rivals provide the same performance as the Tour for $10 to $15 less per dozen. According to Schielke, the Q-STAR Tour is one of the best deals in golf. Although the price is set to provide players with increased value, it includes a Tour-level urethane cover. Once they witness the performance, we are confident that golfers will continue.
